MELECHESH In Pre-Production Mode

February 17, 2009

Sumerian thrashing black metallers MELECHESH have issued the following update:

"The band are currently immersed in writing sessions for the follow-up [to] 'Emissaries' album. This will be MELECHESH's fifth album and first for Nuclear Blast Records. At the moment, there are three pre-production demo songs as well as skeletons for several new tracks. No date is set for the recording but it will not be before fall 2009 at the earliest.

"Moloch [guitar] will be flying to the Netherlands for co writing sessions with Ashmedi [vocals, guitar] which will take around two weeks. This is part of a series of such sessions between both musicians made to compensate for the current geographical distance and add focus. As many of you know, Moloch is living in USA for the time being to complete his PHD work; this is the main reason why MELECHESH have enlisted the services of a good friend and musician Malak al'Maut on guitars for most live events.

"MELECHESH's second album, 'Djinn', originally released in 2001, will be remastered and reissued in a special digipack double CD version. The second (bonus) CD will feature the previously unreleased rare 'Mesopotamian Metal' 'Djinn' promotional demo made for record labels only and has five of the songs found on the album 'Djinn'. The promo was recorded in Jerusalem in '98 only a few weeks prior to relocating MELECHESH to Europe and features the original MELECHESH drummer Lord Curse."

MELECHESH's latest album, "Emissaries" — the follow-up to 2003's "Sphynx" — was released January 23, 2007 on Osmose Productions/The End Records.

Feb. 21 - Ostendfest - Ostende, Belgium
Apr. 03 - [to be announced] - London, UK
Apr. 18 - Ragnarok Festival - Lichtenfels, Germany
May 30 - Festung - Bitterfeld Germany
